Tampa plays the Rangers tough. I think this will be a 7 game series. Not sure, I'll say Tampa. They went 3-0 in the regular season and can match the Rangers speed. Bishop will have to play well.

I predict a lot of boring, low scoring games and quite frankly I don't even care who wins as both of these teams have provided very little in the way of entertainment in these playoffs. That said the Rangers will probably win the series because of the goaltending matchup. The Western series looks so much better.

Haven't watched Tampa much, but I don't quite get all the complaints about Rangers. I don't find them boring.

You must have missed the part of this being a playoff discussion not regular season. The Lightning have been held to 2 goals or less eight times over the playoffs. The Rangers have scored 4 goals once over the playoffs and overall have scored more than 2 goals in a game only three times. If you think this series is going to he high scoring then I can only assume you stopped watching the NHL after the regular season ended.

Price was supposed to be too much.
That said, the Rangers are a far better team than the Habs. I'll go Rangers in 7.

No, but I did miss the part where you weren't an a-hole.

Not a fan of either team, but I like Lundqvist. I'd much rather see him back in the finals then the stupid Lightning anywhere near it.

Bolts in 6. They're going to hem the Rangers in and find seams.

Yes but Lundqvist actually is too much. He has played better than Price in the playoffs in my opinion. Price altough excellent in the playoffs wasn't as good as his regular season self.
